At the end of August, we were in Ulaanbaatar for the COP17 on desertification. Two months later, from 19 to 30 October 2026, we continued the discussions in Yerevan, Armenia, at the COP17 on biodiversity, notably with a Mongolian delegation.
Both conventions lead to the same conclusion: soil, water and biodiversity cannot be restored separately, and those who live off these territories must be at the heart of the solutions.
Our takeaways from Yerevan
- Finance is at the heart of the discussions. Investors and insurers all come up against the same question: measurement.
- Proof becomes the condition for funding. Without reliable data on the real state of nature, natural capital remains a promise.
- Restoration happens on the ground, with those who live there and make a living from it.
More than $1.8 billion in new funding was announced in Yerevan, and the Armenian presidency launched a platform dedicated to biodiversity monitoring. Nature is not short of commitments; it is short of resources and proof.
Our response
For eight years, we have been measuring carbon, water, soil and biodiversity on our two demonstration sites, with certification by an independent standard. On this basis, we offer high-quality nature credits: every euro invested corresponds to a verifiable result.
